Description
Tripp Lite’s NetCommander B070-008-19-IP KVM Switch delivers a compact, reliable, all-in-one control solution for today’s demanding data centers and remote office environments. Housed in a 1U, 19-inch rack-mountable chassis, this KVM over IP switch combines a full-function local console—keyboard, LCD display, and touchpad—into a single, space-saving unit. It’s engineered to simplify the management of up to eight servers or computers from a single vantage point, whether you’re seated at the console in the data center or connecting from across the room, down the hallway, or around the world. With robust performance, flexible remote access, and straightforward installation, it’s the ideal backbone for secure, centralized server administration and rapid incident response.
- All-in-one 19" LCD console in 1U: A built-in keyboard, high-contrast display, and touchpad are integrated into a compact 1U chassis, eliminating the need for separate monitors or peripheral racks and freeing valuable space for other equipment.
- Eight-port Cat5 KVM over IP: Seamlessly connect up to eight servers or computers and switch between them with a simple command sequence. The Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cabling design supports flexible cabling layouts, tidy rack organization, and scalable deployments as your infrastructure grows.
- 1 local user + 1 remote user: Designed for collaborative IT administration, the system supports simultaneous access for on-site operators and remote technicians, enabling faster issue resolution and reduced downtime.
- Remote IP access for global management: Access and control your servers remotely over the network, so routine maintenance, firmware updates, BIOS-level troubleshooting, and emergency response can be performed without physically visiting the rack.
- Rack-mountable, easy to install: Built for data-center deployment, the unit occupies only 1U of rack space and is designed for straightforward installation, cabling, and integration with existing IT infrastructure.
